Richard Lovelady Continues To Ramp Up
4 months agoTampa Bay Rays left-hander Richard Lovelady (forearm) started a minor-league rehab assignment on July 8 in the rookie-level Florida Complex League, giving up four runs on three hits and a walk while recording two outs (one strikeout). Lovelady was scheduled to pitch for Triple-A Durham on Friday, marking his first back-to-back appearances on his rehab assignment. For the year, he's 2-4 with a 7.62 ERA in 15 games, including a 2-3 mark with a 7.36 ERA in eight games for the Rays, so he's well off the fantasy radar. The 29-year-old southpaw was acquired from the Cubs in May and was put on the 15-day injured list on June 8 with a left-forearm flexor strain a day after throwing a scoreless inning against the Orioles. Barring a setback on his rehab assignment, Lovelady could rejoin Tampa's bullpen in early August.
